Very scared. How quickly can LADA come on

Type 1 and LADA

Hi Joe Dennis, Thanks for taking the time to reply to me.

I truly, truly am trying not to stress about this, but it’s like my old brain is gone :stuck_out_tongue:

I never used to test at anything other than fasting and 2 and 3 hours. I think seeing how high it can go after one hour is what’s really freaking me out. From the studies I’ve read, most people peak at about 45 minutes. The soonest I’ve ever done is one hour. I imagine if peak is even before an hour I could be even higher then.

Another thing I find interesting is how many articles I read and people on message boards that say a normal person NEVER ever goes above 120. I’ve actually found some studies that show this isn’t true. I suppose you could say that they just happened to pick a bunch of people that really aren’t’ normal, but I highly doubt it.

I found one that I cited on page 1 of this thread in my reply to Libby. Here’s another one I found from the 1920’s. They took the readings from young people 15-20 times over 3 hours. It clearly shows that normal people do go quite a ways up there, come down, then some go back up again before levelling out. Interesting read.

That’s why I laugh when I see Dr. Bernstein’s claims that no matter when he tests a normal person they are always around 85. How could that be?

Thanks Mattie Shaw. I agree that normal people do go up higher than we’re led to believe. See my post above to Joe Dennis. There’s a link to a study done in the 1920’s.

Hi Emmy, Thanks for replying. I’ve been reading what stress can do, even to normal people’s BGs and wonder if that’s what’s happening to me. The anxiety I’ve been feeling since starting peri is something I never would have imagined. I never used to be a stressed out person at all.

Now, having butterflies like I’m about to give a speech in front of thousands is an all day, everyday occurence sometimes. I was actually in this same state when I had my first BGs done in early '06. My BGs levelled off and were very stable up until recently when this attack of nerves came back.

I’m going to watch my carb intake, be more active and really work on the anxiety and see where that gets me. I don’t know why, but I fear type I so much more than if I was told I had type II. I want to have the GAD done, but really there isn’t much evidence at this point for my Dr. to agree.

I HATE being irrational!!
